Image to text
Extract editable text from an image or scanned PDF.
◉ Your source file stays in your browser. OCR assets download from ClearFile on first use.
How it works
Use OCR for readable text. Complex page layout is kept simple.
Choose your file, select only the options you need, then download the result. You can start over at any time.
Privacy
Your source file stays in your browser. OCR assets download from ClearFile on first use. The page does not send your selected file, filename or result to analytics.
Get a better result
Use sharp, high-contrast images. English OCR runs on your device. Names, numbers, handwriting and complex layouts need manual checking.
Is extracted text always accurate?
No. OCR can misread letters and numbers or lose layout. Compare important text with the original before using it. ClearFile reports when no readable text is found.
